Blackhawk Worldwide LLC

Blackhawk Worldwide LLC, doing business as Aerospace, is a Hispanic American-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Newport, Washington, that manufactures precision-engineered aerospace and military equipment components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor across full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders. The company competes exclusively as a prime (100% of awards); it holds no subcontract work and sits on no parent IDVs or GWACs. Blackhawk operates under primary NAICS codes 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with secondary NAICS in hardware and bolt manufacturing.

Blackhawk's customer footprint is concentrated almost entirely within the Defense Logistics Agency. Three DLA organizations account for 100% of recent awards: DLA Land and Maritime (23 awards, $657 thousand combined potential value), DLA Troop Support / Construction and Equipment (6 awards, $178 thousand), and DLA Aviation (7 awards, $88 thousand). The company also holds three awards from the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (combined potential value $24 thousand). This concentration reflects Blackhawk's positioning as a component supplier into defense supply-chain procurement, where DLA is the principal buyer.

Capability work spans tube and pipe assemblies, aircraft access doors and fairings, sliding door tracks, bracket assemblies, hoisting adapters, cord assemblies, thermal insulation, bent metallic tubes, observation windows, access covers, and fluid flow restrictors. Representative prime awards include a $151,194.75 Total Small Business DLA Aviation contract (August 2024) for 93 units of aircraft access doors to Ventura, California; a $95,000 DLA Troop Support order (April 2025) for 19 hoisting adapters; a $87,951.50 Total Small Business DLA Aviation contract (December 2025) for aircraft fairings; a $49,000 Total Small Business DLA Land and Maritime order (July 2025) for 70 units of sliding door tracks; and a $39,906.35 Total Small Business order (February 2026) for 53 units of rigging equipment. Blackhawk also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025, $250,000 ceiling, ultimate completion October 2026) for sliding door tracks, structured as approximately 12 orders annually with a guaranteed minimum of 2 units per order.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2025, climbing from 3 awards in 2024 to 25 in 2025, with 8 awards already recorded in the first three months of 2026. Combined potential value across all 39 awards stands at $947 thousand, with $697 thousand obligated (74% of potential). Seven awards (combined potential value $179 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated in DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Construction and Equipment procurements. Work is performed in Newport, Washington (primary facility) and Ventura, California (secondary location), with delivery to DLA Distribution depots across the Continental United States and outside the Continental United States. Set-aside posture reflects a mix: roughly 40% of awards carry Total Small Business designations; the remainder compete full-and-open without set-aside.
